Never did really know your dad, but you crossed my mind today and I stumbled upon this news. Sorry to see you lost your dad. You know I lost mine years ago and I still think about him, so keep the good memories and smile when you think of him. You were always a good friend when I was up there and I want to thank you for that and wish you the best.

Message: I feel like i have always known and loved George and Gemma. Maybe because George worked with my dad for awhile, or maybe because I always saw them at church and around town. George ALWAYS took the time to give me a smile and ask how I was doing and how my Dodge was running :)
His warm smile and kindness was so appreciated and will be greatly missed.
